4.2 Three down now. What a delightful start by the Windies. It was the short-pitched delivery that did the trick. Gambhir top edged the pull and Lendl ran back from square leg and lunged forward in the end to take a very fine catch. First Ramdin and [...]
An under-tested India ran into a red-hot West Indies, who didn’t even need a significant contribution from Chris Gayle during a tense chase. Dwayne Bravo was his usual top-dawg self today, taking four wickets to keep India down and then resurrecting the chase after a subdued Gayle had got out early, with an innings that [...]

0.6 bowled him! A much slower delivery, an off-cutter, wide of the off stump at which Bopara threw his hands, and the inside edge knocked over his off peg. Gone! 4/1

Bangladesh is the other seeded team to not make it through to the final 8, with their spot being filled in by Ireland.
Ireland have done [...]

Chasing the total, West Indies were restricted to 177 for five despite Dwyane Bravo’s breezy 51 off 38 balls with five fours and two [...]
